Question

What is the frequency of an ocean wave that is traveling at a speed of 45 m/s if it has a wavelength of 3 meters.

Answer 1

Answer:

The frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.  

Explanation:

We are given with, the speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s. Its wavelength is 3 m

It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.

The speed of a wave is given in terms of frequency and wavelength as :

$v=f\lambda$,

f = frequency of ocean wave

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{45}{3}\\\\f=15\ Hz$

So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.
